摘要
本文的重心是沙巴早期有组织及直接迁移的客家人垦殖史。文中分析客家人迁移沙巴的中国内地推与沙巴拉的因素。在这移民潮事故中，有关客家群体固然有其集体向外移殖的意愿，而巴色宣教会与英国北婆罗洲渣打公司所扮演的角色，才是众多早期客家人成功落户沙巴的关键。十九世纪六十年代始，巴色宣教会便协助流落到其宣教据点的客家难民或会友移民海外。1881年，英国北波罗洲渣打公司取得北婆罗的治理特许权后组织政府。渣打公司开发该领地需要大量劳力，因而启动招募华工的工程。两方的协作引导客家族群有组织地举家移殖沙巴。

This paper deals with the organized and direct migration of the Hakka and their settlement history in early Sabah. The push and pull factors in relation to Hakka migration are analysed. Many Hakka communities had the collective will to emigrate, and the roles played by the Basel Missionary Society and British North Borneo Chartered Company were the key to the success of numerous early Hakka immigrants in settling down in Sabah. From the 1860s, the Basel Missionary Society helped groups of Hakka refugees and those who had congregated in its missionary stations to migrate overseas. When the British North Borneo Chartered Company secured a charter to rule North Borneo in 1881, it initiated a recruitment drive to attract Chinese settlers to provide the labour for development. It is the work of the two parties that led the Hakka community to settle in Sabah in an organized basis.
